2017 Peach Blossom Black and White Photos
Hi everyone! This is the last post of 2017 and I don’t know were the time has gone. For this post, I wanted to share one last set of photos I took in 2017 that I converted from color to black and white. These photos are of the peach blossoms I took very early this year. The colored version of the peach blossom photographs can be seen in a post I wrote here. Here are the photographs… Editing these photos was fairly easy. They converted to black and white without too much fuss. In fact, the only thing I needed to do was adjust the contrast before they looked the…

April 28, 2017 Cactus Blossom Color and Black and White Photographs
Hi everyone! I’m back with some more black and white photographs, this time they are ones I did not post here before. I found them while searching for other photographs I took this year, but when I realized I never posted them. The photographs, which are of a saguaro blossoms and saguaro blossom buds, looked nice so I thought it would be a good idea to post them before the end of 2017. Since I never posted the photographs online, I decided to post both the colored version and the black and white converted versions. I also will not critique the way I took the photographs and how that influenced…

2016 Peach Tree Blossoms
I was so busy earlier this year that I forgot to post photos of this year’s peach tree blossoms! Since the temperatures in Arizona were unseasonably warm, the peach trees bloomed a month early. Other plants bloomed early as well, but the peach trees where the ones that drew the most attention from bees, butterflies, beetles, and even a hummingbird. Although I was unable to take pictures of all the animals visiting the peach trees, I still have some very nice pictures of the blossoms! Since I took so many pictures of the blossoms, I’m posting a few here. The rest can be found in my Flickr albums for February…

February 2015 Spring Blossom Photos (And a few sunsets)
To make a long story short, I missed photographing the cactus blossoms this year. And I’m also missing photographing the saguaro blossoms as well, so in order to make up for the lack of blossom photos, I’ll show you some photos I took back in February. All the photos in this post are from my Flickr account. The rest of the photos can be found in the February 2015 Nature Photos album.

Spring Blossoms 2014 Part 1 of 2 (Maybe)
Well, its spring and the trees around my house started/are blooming. Last year I took some photos of the blossoms on the peach trees near my house, but since then an orange tree that was planted years ago began to bloom for the first time! I’m excited because this means oranges (And orange juice) might show up in the future. Yum! Anyway, here are some photos of the peach blossoms, orange blossoms, ocotillo blossoms, and Creosote blossoms around my house. The only blossom photos that are missing are the cactus blossoms. They have yet to blossom, but some are starting to show signs they are getting ready to. Once they…

April 2013 Cactus Flower Prt. 2
Here’s part two of a two part post series to show the photos I took of two different cactus near my house. After taking the photos from part 1 of my cactus flower post, I found another cactus blooming nearby. It was a different cactus with a different color and type of flower, but it was still very pretty! Unfortunately, I’m not sure what type of cactus it is. (Unfortunately, I’m not very well versed in the types of cactus in Arizona so I’m no help in the names department. 😛 ) Enjoy!

April 2013 Cactus Flowers Prt. 1
Here’s part one of a two part post series to show the photos I took of two different cactus near my house. In April of 2013, I was outside taking a walk when I found this cactus blooming. I ran back to my house, grabbed my camera, and started to take photos of the flowers. Enjoy!

Peach Blossoms 2013
My family has two dwarf peach trees we planed many years ago. Every year, the trees blossom pink flowers in the spring before growing leaves and producing peaches. I like to take photos of the blossoms every year, mostly because they’re my favorite color, pink, and they remind me of cherry tree blossoms. (I’ve never seen cherry tree blossoms in real life. Just on TV and in photographs online.) Here are some of the photos I took of the blossoms from 2013….
